Starting from the idea that Mathematics plays an important role in planning any aesthetically attractive and functional construction, this work focuses on curves and surfaces easily rocognisable in buildings. Many contemporary examples, but also some intriguing forms connected by classical geometrical questions are illustrated. Nowadays as well in the past, architects often give a splendid interpretation of the beauty of Mathematics, at the same time they introduce modern aspects of this important subject, related to the social and environmental field.

Abstract
Starting from the idea that Mathematics plays an important role in planning any aesthetically attractive and functional construction, this work focuses on curves and surfaces easily rocognisable in buildings. Many contemporary examples, but also some intriguing forms connected by classical geometrical questions are illustrated. Nowadays as well in the past, architects often give a splendid interpretation of the beauty of Mathematics, at the same time they introduce modern aspects of this important subject, related to the social and environmental field.File in questo prodotto:
